aloe water

i recently found a recipe on  free people's blog for homemade aloe water and posted it on my facebook page called amillioncreations. 

here a quick update. 

since my friend Tina @ domesticexperiments.com and i grow organic aloe in the school garden i thought to give this recipe a try. 

by now you also know that i love to experiment around making all kinds of smoothies, floats, teas, infused waters and so forth so making homemade aloe water wasn't such a stretch.

however after skinning the leaves and fighting the slimy slippery "juice" [ that i apologize in advance ] resembled the texture and look of snot - i very quickly realized this is going just a bit far for my taste and I will adamently stick to using aloe and it's soothing juices on cuts, mosquito bites and burns. 

but drinking this stuff even if it is said to cleanse, help ulcers and any other digestive problems i will NOT in any shape or form ever drink it.

for the people at freepeople blog if you indeed drank the aloe water yourself then  i bow to you and you are one tough bunch. 

but in my book this was an EPIC FAIL!!  and I'll stick to drinking a cup of ginger tea or a small aperitif to help with the digestion :)
